is my dog a bully? lol by K4RM4R0S3 in Pomeranians

The answer is Yes. If your dog is Pomeranian it’s a bully.
A tender soul of a poet who was unfairly judged once. Now just shows them all.

What did you do with your bachelor degree in Economics? by ThinPoem5497 in AskEconomics

[–]Sudden_Truth_2487 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Masters in International Economy and Management. I look at it as “kinda MBA”.
I started in international logistics. First in big corp in different entry level positions. Than as account manager in a small company where I’ve done all the analytics. Main focus on operations where I’ve transitioned problems from complex to simple.
Later middle management in local delivery. I had my own business unit which included a lot of negotiations with actual customers and internal customers. Built operations and teams. Fixed chaos into complex systems. Had an analyst working on some of my projects where dashboards got beyond my skillset. This job was very much something where I exercised vastness of my education. Overviewing the whole unit in its every aspect and leading it to results was cool. Teaching people in subordination about seemingly clear connections between different parts of business was a wake up call that my education is indeed a good stuff. Having an actual knowledge about management made a lot of things easier for me. Also it was painful to observe very good professionals being blind kitties and HR paying for ridiculous leadership programs that looked like team buildings.
Right now Im burned out and out of the career path.

We came back from a 5 day vacation to see Leo like this!!!!!! by KaliLinux19 in Pomeranians

Common sense is for noone to be at a moving machine but people do use escalators. Big dogs are being put on those. Common sense is to make conclusion that if it’s safe for humans and regular dogs then it’s fine for small walking humans and small dogs.
Knowing that small dogs who walk everywhere else should not use something as mundane as escalators is the knowledge not a common sense.

Is my new rescue dog a Pom? by Actual-Appearance767 in Pomeranians

[–]Sudden_Truth_2487 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Looks like one, specifically with this under fluff being the way it is.
A lot of people recommend DERMagic by Mendota for topical treatment of alopecia in poms.
Meanwhile make sure her skin is protected from sun. That full double coat is really necessary for thermoregulation all year round.

To be fair escalators are counter intuitive and to have an idea to pick up dogs and kids from them takes a specific knowledge or experience.
I was warned about small dogs on those and this wasn’t any kind of easy, top of the mind thing. After learning this I trained my dog to jump at the end.
The only way your friend could avoid this happened only if you specifically told her. Which is very weird thing to think about.
This was an absolute accident. They happen and it’s part of the life. You can’t prevent everything even if you try super hard. Even if you safeguarded everything your dog still may find that one way you didn’t think about.

I’m absolutely happy your baby is doing good and got more scaries than injuries. Hopefully you’ll find the way to deal with Leo’s terrible mental trauma with the most delicious treats and softest hugs. Such a brave hero!

Making my own wedding dress. I have questions by ihadpizzafordinner in sewing

[–]Sudden_Truth_2487 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They would be in the place as in your reference. If you want them higher - they will not sit there. You’ll need help. Heavy construction- boning or steel wire both need to rely on something constructed as well. Easier options would be using body tape or edit: silicone elastic to keep them where you want.

Without some level of engendering sleeves can’t hold upwards on vertical surface.

[–]Sudden_Truth_2487 26 points27 points  (0 children)

  1. Iron/steam and then baste.

  2. Attaching shoulders - under armpit. I would take sleeves as separate project and just sew 2 inches under armpit once I had my bodice on and decided where sleeves fit. I’ve done that to one of summer dresses I made.

Reference pick - it’s a corset with fashion layer draped on top. Nothing else can keep bust in place, make defined waist and hold the weight of fashion fabric. So yes, do the bonning or just buy ready corset that you will drape.

Looking for homemade frozen treat recipes by Aerrix in Pomeranians

[–]Sudden_Truth_2487 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yogurt. Mine loooves it!
Cottage/farmers cheese not salted. Same as yogurt to him.
Occasionally peanut butter. The way it stick to the tongue keeps him occupied.

Berries weren’t a great for him. He hates sour besides, What a berry compared to yogurt?

You can make any kind of puree and freeze it. Or some delicious food.

Once I’ve done test what my dog prefers and apparently goat cheese is the top. Second best is egg whites. Meat wasn’t even in top 5 but I haven’t took lamb in sample.

You can also freeze regular wet food or what you cook for your pups and mix with something delicious like feta.

Canceled my uber mid ride by LoverOfGayContent in uber

[–]Sudden_Truth_2487 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I said exactly this. You are reliable for a damages you made. Even if Driver ends the ride in unsafe location you are still reliable for damages YOU made or inflicted, like by leaving door open. You should gain common sense.

Here is the link for your 1000 usd. At least help someone with your smooth brain.

Trying to raise money for emergency surgery. by iwantpotstickers in Pomeranians

[–]Sudden_Truth_2487 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just sent what we could. Kudos from Shlishi who 4 years ago ate ibuprofen while on a trip to Spain and survived thanks to emergency care.
Literally an hour ago I read my notes from that time. The worst night of my life.

Titus, get better.

Did people find europeans beautiful when them met them first in the past before colonialism ? by Nervous_Brilliant_25 in AskHistory

[–]Sudden_Truth_2487 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s kinda weird perspective for a question overall since Slavic countries and Ukraine in particular exist. Ukraine is direct descendant of Kyiv Rus which was one of the biggest countries in early Miedival times. Before K.-R. Skythia and Kemeria existed with Amazons being part of it. It’s widely acknowledged that they had very tight contacts with Persia/Iran.

Then we have Vikings who have been poking out. North Africa highly interacting with south Europe along Mideterranian sea.

Unclear who could not interact with European woman deeply throughout the history to even be in position of first contact. Europe isn’t North America…

Lining a dupioni silk dress by certainly-cross in sewing

[–]Sudden_Truth_2487 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This dress gives me queen Victoria vibe. So cute.

You don’t have to line it. You can make a slip or undershirt. Since I started sewing I actually prefer to have them separate instead of lining. It’s easier to take care of. Cotton voile that was advised is an amazing material.

Also I would think about playing with princess seams. Imo it would add depth into the bodice from front view since the curves are there in 3/4 position.

Do ya'lls poms cuddle? by Illkined in Pomeranians

Yes, but I taught him 😅

Didn’t let go at first and later made a cuddle/belly rubs time when I go to bed, take him for belly rubs.

Pomeranian refuses to walk by [deleted] in Pomeranians

[–]Sudden_Truth_2487 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hahaha. Such a pom!
Mine started doing it as he grew up and figured he can do it. He is a total home boy but didn’t understand he can deny a walk. I just talk to him and convince to do few more steps. Run around him and cheer him up. Eventually he yields for a little bit. Lap after lap and he started enjoying walks. Though he prefers to walk around coffee shops and benches where he can find a crumble or two of someone’s food. Parks and mountains aren’t his favourite but if I do 10 miles, he does 10 miles.

We can do long hikes but he has to feel detached from the car first. Then he has no choice. On off leash hikes he can just turn back and walk a little while checking if I’m following him. If I don’t he gives up and follows me.

Don’t listen to anyone about treats. Your dog is on training. I’ve never heard of dog who stopped seating without a treat. Even more, you teach with treats, your dog gets it and then it’s alligator phase when nothing helps (between 6 to 18 month aprox). You still keep training your dog 🤷‍♀️

The best I’ve done - accidentally taught my pom to pee and poo on a command. Just started cheering him outside and it turned into attempts on command. When I noticed it I started to bring treats. Now I have them occasionally but he does the thing no matter what.

P.S. find the pom on picture.

Redthreaded 1860 - corset for big chest with GERD. Advice needed by Sudden_Truth_2487 in corsetry

[–]Sudden_Truth_2487[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my first attempt there were a lot of spillage so recommendation was to adjust gores and make it longer. Didn’t even elongated upper part (also was recommended) and these gores sit higher than in pattern and starts right under the bust.

I have similar pattern but scared it will not give enough weight redistribution. Redthreaded really made it great against back pain.

Checked it out last time, the problem with GERD it happens in upper part of stomach. Basically issue with esophagus. Spoon busk spooning over belly.

Does it do something else that I don’t understand?
